If so how often do you clean it? I clean mine inside and out about every 2 months and re-apply the thermal paste when needed.
Random question, I know.

I have my xbox open all the time for modding and to keep it in good condition
I couldn't keep mine open all the time.
Every couple of months I clean it out, I use a blowing machine to get the dust out and a small paint brush if needs be to get at the bits in the fans etc...
Usually only the heat sinks get dusty though





I use a brush to dust off and a compressor to clean the rest.
If you use an air compressor make sure you set to like 5-10 psi
Think about it! we consume, we reproduce, we spread, we infect, We're the real rats.
Never cleaned it nor did I clean my old one, though my old one kept getting sent to MSoft for RROD repairs every few months so they may have cleasned my old one, but my current one no
I left mine for well over a year and it was a right mess inside, must have cleaned out half a cups worth of dust just out of the heat sinks, no wonder the bloody thing was running so hot. Might be worth just taking a look and giving it the once over, might save you having to ship it off to MS for repair again.
I know I should, and now that warranty has run out, they can't bitch about it, so I probably should, she has been moved around a lot and left in rather dusty areas so it would be best.
Though my console was a Piece of shit launch console, couldn't believe how many times I had to send it back haha
